I'm wondering how someone who goes around wearing a wedding ring succeeded in the dating pool. Normally a wedding ring sends a flashing Do Not Enter message - except to those looking for flings with married people.
Emily Yoffe
The sadness from reading letters that you know you can't help because it's a person who's in extremis and their problems are not soluble by an advice column.
